Gruesome passion

I had wanted her to be my wifeBut did not like how she lived lifeIt so hurt my prideThat I offered here a rideThen stabbed her to death with my knife!

ExpressIndia 27/07/06: Bangalore -Colleague confesses to killing Tanya. A city-based call centre employee was on Thursday arrested in connection with the sensational murder of his 25-year-old woman colleague after he confessed to it, a senior police official said. Read about it here

I wonder why the case is being touted as a "BPO murder". It was a crime of passion. Had nothing to do with the call center where she worked, other than the fact that the two people involved were colleagues. There was no involvement of her employers and neither was it due to any security lapse or negligence on the part of her organisation. Can anyone explain?
